He'll have plenty of time for MCDP-1... Beer, Broads, Beaches. Mix all three as much as possible.

I've got a good buddy who married a girl from the Ukraine; her father is a retired KGB Lt Col... He still has a TS/SCI... (he was on MSG duty when he met her...) But if he didn't have a problem, then neither should you as long as you are on the up and up with everything.

My roommate here at TBS was told that he was one of the last Marine SNFOs to go through the BOC. MCRC isn't recruiting anymore....

Do you really think that all the money not spent on the F-22 will be spent on the F-35.... With all the cuts, when the F-35 starts really coming on line I seriously doubt we will get all 2443 (between all three services) that are planned for right now... Senator X,"Hey, we are making do with...

Chuck Norris never did and never will walk on the Moon.

Combat reload vs a dry reload...

Marq has got to be a fake. this has been going on a lot here recently....

You know, I don't have much advice as far as family in flight school but I will tell you that everything that I have heard is to not forget that family is first. (As everyone as said before). I think it was said best in the book about Chuck Horner (Every Man a Tiger). He has a quote that I...

Okay, you're an officer now. Think about this problem..... Don't order over the net. Try them on. Bates lites are great for running for some people, not so much for others. (I like them) Every foot is different so what is comfortable for me won't necessarily be comfortable for you.

I agree with the Lawman. But one thing that I have learned is that many people take for granted that we own the skies. During our Tactical Discussion Groups when asked what the instructors would do in this situation many if not most reply," I'd call in CAS and be done with it." I'd feel much...

That replacement is the F-22. They started looking more than 20 years ago. Do you really know much of anything about this topic?! :banghead_ FYI The F-15 (the light gray version) really doesn't fight the war on terror either...

You will most likely sit in Mike. There are too many LTs that don't have a med issue that need to pick up. And you don't want to be in mike waiting throughout the winter. Alpha is a while away, and Bravo doesn't pick up until Jan...

The airlines should hire them as actresses playing a role. You can discriminate on pretty much anything except race, religion or age when auditioning. (And even those you can get around by simply saying that they don't fit the part)

This is very obviously a fake post... People around here have been getting hugely upset and overreacting...

The F-22 has a lot more capability than supercruise... The threat is out there, it's just a matter of what we want to spend our money on now. Is the present more important than the future? Maybe. We will know in the years to come.

Is it bad that I now think 3/2 means 3rd Battalion, 2nd Marines? ....I just realized how much yut-yut juice I've drank!:D

Lots of "desk jobs" in the military, especially for officers, and aviators. Don't let the cool factor fool you, you will write fitreps and training schedules and..... but back to the thread. My contribution: Dudes a douche nozzle. that is all.

Nah, at TBS you slam your own dick in your door everyday for 6 months...

And everyone who goes out and votes, and expresses their rights... It's not just the military that keeps the American people free, it is the collective will for our citizens to be free. Yes, there are people who take it for granted, it is the way that it is. But if the American people did not...

I'm pretty sure we are the same way.

Or, you could get a haircut once a week and not worry about those bothersome "showers" or that fad called "soap" and "shampoo".... !

Oh, but it does my squidy brethren, it does ... :icon_wink YYYYEEEEEUUUUUUUUUUTTTT!

I would hope so, we put our hands in the air and swore an oath to those reasons and ideals! :)

Not so much as OCS, but at TBS, well, this Koolaide is like Jello. I get speared on peer evals because I openly don't want to be an infantry platoon commander(!). (A air guy on an air contract that doesn't want to be a grunt for a living, the horror! The Shame!) Don't get me wrong, this stuff...

That and how if you wanted your job to be putting a boot to the proverbial ass of the bad guys for 20 years you should have enlisted.

Same thing happened with my platoon. You would have thought the CO singlehandedly crushed the hopes and dreams of every 2nd Lt in the room. Though there were some guys who seriously thought that they could go fly, then drive tanks and be an intel or grunt type guy... It's amazing where some...

Wait, you mean I won't be able to roll up in civvies with long hair and a beard and tell my CO "John has a long mustache; I say again: John has a long mustache." :D

No, it's a bachelors degree, so you're good to go; so long as the university that awarded you the degree is accredited.

I've got a BA in Theatre. A good buddy of mine has a BA in Music. We are both 7599s at TBS. A degree is all that matters.

I am not a recruiter, but I am pretty sure your most recent score counts. Getting 2 similar scores on the ASTB tells me 1 of 2 things; 1. You didn't study, or you didn't study the right material, or 2. You just aren't smart enough to get a higher score. Nothing is wrong with #2, if that is...

Some 0311 priors that are with me at TBS were saying that they had to do the dunker after that unfortunate incident where the Phrog went ass over tea kettle when it got a wheel stuck in the net on the back of a boat. Do they still do require this?

Touche... The latest issue of the MC Times has a couple of editorials and an article saying that the Navy may not be really looking into having a plan for more (or new) amphibs. They are afraid the QDR is going to come out and that the existence of the amphibs comes into question.

I don't see the Marines not having some type of airplane presence on an aircraft carrier. It's a political thing...

Why are they wearing black boots and not our tan ones?

After 8 months in Quantico, that sounds like it will be pretty awesome.

Kind of like the Arrive Alive card at TBS... Except you have to pay the cab fare back once you sober up...

I bought some ballistic glasses from them seeing as how the issued ones we get at TBS are opaque with scratches and Supply tells us that they are still serviceable.... I like them, they seem to fight the fogging pretty well and they are optically correct, so no headaches after wearing them for...

I agree with wanting to get away from work being one problem facing our peers, but I still see it as a leadership problem. The bottom line is why would I want to go to the Hawk and drink when in the same place it seems like I'm not treated like a grown man who can take a piss when he wants, or...

No, the ASTB is a check in the box for the Marine Corps, nothing more.

Bad gouge, Marines view the ASTB as pass/fail. If you meet the minimums you are just as good as if you ace the thing.

It's amazing to see how much the horizontal stab is moving just before he catches the wire on the very last pass in that video.

Good food. It is always a destressor to eat something that tastes really good. The wife and I probably spend a bit more on food than my TBS peers, but coming home from work and sitting down to a nice meal really does put me in a good mood.

I passed the article around my platoon when I got the Gazette last month. We are trying, but it seems that too many of our peers are too afraid to cut loose for fear of being seriously punished. Something has to change, too many guys are sitting in their rooms on a Friday or Saturday night...

I didn't say it was a bad thing, it just happens. It sucked me in too, though I watched it on Hulu.com and sat through the commercials. :D

Nothing, and I mean nothing you see on TV or in Movies isn't influenced in some way by Hollywood. Make no mistake, they picked those people to portray ideas/characters to make money through ticket and DVD sales. I can guarantee the pitch sale didn't go," Well, Mr. Producer, we want to follow a...

Navy is second best... You can't beat the Marine Dress Blues. :D

The S-1 (admin) Marines will come in and talk to everyone in your company during zero week about the OAI and the CLRP. You will sign up for it then. Edit: One thing to note about the College Loan Repayment Program is that it is counted as taxable income. I have a buddy here who was 250k bucks...

This boat spent some time in the last couple years in Norfolk/Little Creek. It would blaze through Willoughby Bay, always impressive to watch.

You will have to make the weight standard by the time you graduate.

TBS Studs don't either...
